2.
Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the
cap. Use a funnel and add fuel until the fuel
level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm) below
the bottom of the filler neck. This space in the
tank allows for expansion of the fuel. When
filling the tank, make sure that the machine is on
a level surface so that adequate air space is
allowed. Do not fill the fuel tank completely.
3.
Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any
gasoline that may have spilled.
Check the Engine Oil Level
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake,
lower the attachment lift, and turn the ignition
key to “STOP” to stop the engine. Remove the
ignition key.
2.
Open the hood.
3.
Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 4) so dirt
cannot fall into the dipstick tube and damage the
engine.
4.
Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end
clean (Fig. 5).
5.
Slide the oil dipstick fully into the dipstick tube
(Fig. 4). Pull the dipstick out and look at the
metal end. If the oil level is low, add oil; refer to
Engine Oil, page 27.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the crankcase
with oil because this may result in engine
damage.
